So today we had a customer (i work @ a machine shop) decided that his perfectly good 12.5:1 pistons weren't good enough for the rebuild on his new big block so i may be building the following!

454 block .60 over (468 ci assuming i use a stock rod and stroke) I have a pair of heads and a cam that would easily make 800+ hp

so im off work tomorrow, bad thing is i cant get into my shop but my buddy agreed to let me bring my car up and work on it at his place for the day, spindles fuel system at the very least will be finished tomorrow.

You plan on running an aftermarket block for your next build right

stock 010 454 block ;), not going over 800 hp so there should be no problem since ill be using a new forged rotating assembly

355= shit,

400 smallblock>All

spray a 400 shot of nos, 1 time motor is gone

I am not sure about the 454 but a gen 1 SBC at 800hp is as good as gone... they like to explode at over 500...

I work at a machine shop, my smallblock makes 400 to the wheels and is a daily driver, 600+ hp on a smallblock you just fill the block and go really fast.

Oldschool way build stock block monsters.

There are better blocks then others, idr what this block is but its one of the better ones according to my boss.

Hes been published in multiple magazines for multiple builds for example : http://www.mustang50magazine.com/techarticles/sucp_0511_2005_mustang_gt_build/

My boss is Herb Yancer hes mentioned quite often, he built the motor it was a stock block 4.6l all aluminum explorer block that made 1,100 hp to the crank, 900 to the tires, hp was understated in the article because the bracket raced the car.
